Willig,
 
     I recently did the rear springs on my BN2.  ( Had them re-arched. )  I
ran across a problem with the rear grease nipples and want to pass it along.
 
     I had trouble removing the rear shackle bolts until I removed the
nipples  They were bottomed on the shackle bolts.  They would not accept
grease and the tips were deformed by the bolt.

 
     Once removed they would flow grease and the bolts could be removed.
 
     When you get the replacement nipples be careful when you tighten them. 
The threaded portion on my stock BN2 nipples was long enough to cause a
problem.  I had to add a small nut to the nipple to use up some of the
threads.  Then I screwed them in finger tight,  tested that the bolt was not
bound, tightened the nut to lock it in place and confirmed that they took
grease. 
 
Cheers

Hello,



can someone direct me to a source where I can get the long rear spring
greaser for a BN1? I know that Norman Nock sells them for the later chassis
with UNF threads. But they will not fit the BN1 chassis which seems to use a
BSF thread



Thanks
